Our Authentic Story
Discover the family heritage that makes Krong Thai the only authentic Cambodian restaurant in the Gatineau region.
A Family Tradition
In 1999, a Cambodian family brought their treasured recipes to Les Promenades de l'Outaouais in Gatineau — dishes passed down through generations in Cambodia. After nearly a decade at the mall, they moved to 205 Rue Bellehumeur in 2009, where those same traditions live on in every Bangkok Soup, every curry paste, and every spice blend made from scratch. Under new management since May 2024, we honour this legacy while welcoming a new chapter for the restaurant.
Cambodian Heritage
We are the only authentic Cambodian restaurant within a 2+ hour radius. Our traditional Khmer dishes — including Phnom Penh Soup and Banh Hoi — are prepared with secret spice blends preserved by the original family. Every recipe tells a story of Cambodia's rich culinary heritage.
